hi i have a hq beamer 3.6 power kite its great when it bloody windy and im a reltivley newwin to kite jumping but i just cant get of the ground can some one tell me how to jump :frog::!::alien::barf::cool2::evil::moon::P:piggy:

I haven't flown the beamer but I know it is not the most lifty kite out there. How much do you weigh? Pretty much any kite can snatch you off the ground in the right conditions but bigger kites offer more float so they tend to be better for jumping.

Anyway, pendulum jumping is probably going to work best for you. For example turn the kite to the left and start running with it to the left, now redirect the kite so it goes over you to the right and keep running in the direction you were running but angle back a bit so you keep pressure on the lines. When you feel the kite start to lift you, jump.

Go to the flexifoil forum and do a search on pendulum jumping. Somone animated it a while ago. You can also pit jump by laying down with your feet braced against a small hole in the ground (works best at the beach). power the kite up and fly it straight up through the middle of the power zone keeping pressure against it with your feet and as the kite reaches the zenith, up you should go (I don't jump this way but I know it works).

Important thing about jumping is redirecting the kite so you get some float. In the first example, with the kite over to your right, as you start to come off the ground you want to pull the kite over you with your left hand and you may need to apply some brakes so the kite doesn't over shoot the zenith and collapse. If it does, you'll be dropped.

It does take practice and timing so don't be frustrated. Depending upon your weight, with a 3.6m kite, you may need to be out when it is quite windy to get good jumps.

Please remember that the Beamer 3.6m is not a high lift kite, thus it's not going to be gentle coming down. Just as fast as you go up you'll come down, if not faster on the down. So if you're trying for lift be careful and possibly think about purchasing a liftier kite.

That was the best example of jumping I have seen yet!
